Creating collections

Collections are groups of artifacts, reflections, presentations, and learning objectives. They are like folders, except an item can belong to multiple collections at the same time. For example, you may add a short story you wrote to a collection called “Fiction” as well as a collection called “Creative Writing 101” and there will only be one copy of the story (artifact).

There are multiple ways to add items to a collection:

Add items manually on the Edit Collection page

Add multiple items at once by clicking Add to Collection from the More Action button

Select the Add to Collection option from the context menu of an item

Create a list of tags on the Edit Collection page that defines which items to automatically include in a collection based on the tags that are associated with the item

Create a tag list that automatically populates a collection

Important All items that use the tags that you specify in the tag list are automatically added to the collection. If you share the collection with other users you automatically share all of the items.

Click Edit from the context menu of the collection you want to add items to.

Click Add to Collection.

Click Tag list.

Give your tag list a name.

Enter the tags you want in the tag list.

Click Save.

Tip If you want to create an OR condition, where items tagged with either "x" or "y" are added to a collection, you can create multiple tag lists. For example, if you want all items tagged with the phrase "Science and Technology" and either "Green Energy" or "Solar Energy" to be added to a collection, you should create two tag lists. The first tag list should contain the phrases "Science and Technology" and "Green Energy", and the second tag list should contain "Science and Technology" and "Solar Energy."
